Recent articles about Wes Unseld, Jr.en-usDevin Harris embracing opportunity for playoff push with Denver NuggetsPHOENIX — Devin Harris arrived at the Nuggets’ team hotel for Saturday’s morning breakfast meeting and walk-through, followed by a crash course in the team’s terminology with assistant coaches Wes Unseld Jr. and Micah Nori.
Saturday night, the veteran point guard was thrust into his Nuggets’ debut after being dealt from Dallas to Denver at Thursday’s trade deadline.
Harris acknowledged the initial moments in his new uniform might be challenging. But he’s embracing the opportunity to join the Nuggets’ playoff push for their final 26 games.
“I don’t want to be playing golf right now,” Harris said outside the Nuggets’ locker room at Talking Stick Resort Arena prior to Saturday’s game at the Suns. “I’d rather be playing meaningful basketball.”
Harris described life since Thursday as “a little crazy.” He was with the Mavericks for a game at Golden State when he was notified he had been traded. He then said his emotional goodbyes to members of the franchise with which he’s spent the bulk of his 14-year career.

According to Christopher Dempsey of The Denver Post, Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone has completed the process of hiring assistants. In addition to the highly revered Ed Pinckney as his lead sidekick Malone has also cajoled Chris Fleming, current head coach of the German national team; Wes Unseld Jr., most recently of Jacque Vaughn’s staff in Orlando; Micah Nori, who spent 15 years in the Toronto Raptors organization despite having a baseball background coming out of college; and Ryan Bowen, a former Nugget both as a player and assistant coach under George Karl. Nori and Bowen each held various positions under Malone during his brief tenure in Sacramento.
Though assistant coaches can only play so large a role in the NBA while answering to their superiors, it’s worth noting the somewhat surprising overall direction the Nuggets have gone with their coaching hires this summer. For once in their recent history — or perhaps just history — the Denver Nuggets have committed to defense.06 Jul 2015 18:02:04 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/michael_malone_selects_his_assistants_nudges_nuggets_in_right_direction/s1_13073_19104103

Wes Unseld Jr. doesn’t have any clue who he’ll have available for Friday’s Summer League finale, except that Victor Oladipo will indeed play and Dewayne Dedmon won’t. Elfrid Payton talked a lot about Marcus Smart and their bond. Seth Curry seems to be hearing great things from Magic coaches, but he’ll still play for the Phoenix Suns at Vegas Summer League.

Fatigue appeared to play a role as Magic representatives also mentioned how physical Memphis played. Aaron Gordon reiterated that he feels most comfortable as a Small Forward than a PF. Wes Unseld Jr. seems to agree at this moment. Elfrid Payton and Victor Oladipo both had bright moments, but each knows there’s a lot of improving that needs to occur.

Wes Unseld Jr. expected to leave for Golden State
For the first time in many years, the Wizards/Bullets will not have someone named Wes Unseld working for the organization. Longtime assistant Wes Unseld Jr., son of the Bullets legend, is expected to leave the franchise to become an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors, according to multiple sources.
Unseld Jr., has been with the organization since he graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 1997. He worked his way up from advance scout and later he joined former coach Eddie Jordan’s staff as an assistant. Ed Tapscott retained Unseld Jr. when Jordan was dismissed and Coach Flip Saunders also kept him when he took over in the summer of 2009.

(AP Photo) For the previous few days at practice, Lester Hudson was the last player the leave the court, as he used some extra time to take jumpers with Wizards assistants Ryan Saunders and Wes Unseld Jr. Hudson had been struggling all season to regain the shooting touch that earned him a roster spot. And, since he is more of a scorer than a point guard, off-target jumpers didn't work out too well for the "Baby Microwave." He realized that his time with the Wizards was about to come to an abrupt end when he got a phone call on Monday morning asking him to come in and meet with Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld and vice president of basketball administration Tommy Sheppard. So when he sat down and they told him that he was getting waived, Hudson wasn't shocked.
